Testimonials

I am delighted that I enrolled in the Employment Readiness course at Macquarie Community College in recent months. This comprehensive program encompassed essential skills such as resume and cover letter writing, interview techniques, LinkedIn workshops, and more. Each component provided me with practical tools and knowledge crucial for navigating the job market effectively. Following completion of the course, I now feel significantly more equipped and confident in my ability to pursue the job opportunities I truly desire. Denise Dewar, our highly experienced teacher, played a pivotal role in this journey by offering invaluable advice and guidance throughout the learning process. Her expertise and support were instrumental in enhancing my skills and boosting my confidence levels. Overall, participating in this course has been a transformative experience, equipping me with the necessary skills and confidence to pursue my career goals with enthusiasm and purpose.

Before I started studying Aged Care, I went to find a job but I didn’t have a certificate or knowledge in the aged care community. Now I’m studying aged care at MCC. I'm so excited every time I enter the classroom because it’s more learning for me and the teacher is very helpful. I love the way she teaches us. She explains every detail of the discussion. After I finish this course I think the knowledge I’ve learned from the course will be the beginning of my journey.

Aged Care

I loved completing MCC's (Digital) Literacy I-II class, I learned many things including E-mail, Word and Power Point. The course was Fee-Free which was a wonderful opportunity for me because I needed computer skills for the librarian course I want to do next year. Before completing this course, I didn’t know about "Google docs" but now I can use it. The skills I have gained will really benefit me now and in the future. In addition, my teacher was really kind and friendly which made me really enjoy the course. I recommend the course to future students who need computer skills and to help them progress to future courses like me.

Kaori (Student)
Digital Literacy I-II

I was interested in the computer literacy courses part 1 & 2 for work and to learn some basic computer skills. Before this course I had no idea how to use a computer. What I have now learnt will benefit me now and in the future. I enjoyed learning with my instructor and made some great friends. When I had a problem the instructor was understanding and everyone was very helpful. This course is a great experience and I recommend it for future students as it will be very helpful for the future and improving computer skills.

Lutfur (Student)
Digital Literacy I-II

I used to be an analogue person until I completed the Digital Literacy I-II courses. I was often frustrated when I faced difficulties using devices & software for computers. Thankfully, I was given a wonderful course by MCC to improve my digital skills. I learnt many skills including how to print, present in front of an audience, make my own business cards, and collaborate with other people online. Now I am getting more confident with using computers, USB and printing. I really would like to recommend this course to people who are struggling to use a computer.
